What guests say
8.1 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 57 guest reviews
An older but well-kept budget motel where the welcoming owners, clean rooms and convenient location near ENMU and local venues earn consistent praise. Guests see it as good value for the price, though some mention hard beds, no breakfast, patchy wifi and thin bedding. Repeat stays suggest it reliably delivers simple, affordable comfort.
